As I'm sittin' in the taxi for the sky
|
He's off to slay some demon dragonfly
|
And he looks at me, that long last time
|
Turns away again and I waved goodbye
|
In an envelope, inside his coat
|
Is a chain I wore, around my throat
|
Along with, a note I wrote
|
Said "I love you but, I don't even know why"
|
|
But darling, I wish you well
|
On your way to the wishing well
|
Swinging off of those gates of hell
|
But I can tell how hard you're trying
|
Just have this secret hope
|
sometimes all we do is cope
|
Somewhere on the steepest slope
|
There's an endless rope
|
And nobody's crying
|
|
Well a long night turns into a couple long years
|
Of me walkin' around, around this trail of tears
|
Where the very loud voices of my own fears
|
Is ringin' and ringin' in my ears
|
It says that love is long gone
|
Every move I make is all wrong
|
Says you never gave a damn for me
|
For anything, for anyone
|
|
But darling, I wish you well
|
On your way to the wishing well
|
Swinging off of those gates of hell
|
But I can tell how hard you're trying,
|
Just have this secret hope
|
Sometimes all we do is cope
|
Somewhere on the steepest slope
|
There's an endless rope
|
And nobody's crying
|
|
May you dream you are dreaming, in a warm soft bed
|
And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread
|
Make the sound of thousands of angels instead
|
Tonight where you might be laying your head
|
|
I wish you well
|
On your way to the wishing well
|
Swinging off of those gates of hell
|
But I can tell how hard you're trying
|
Still have this secret hope
|
Sometimes all I do is cope
|
Somewhere on the steepest slope
|
There's an endless rope
|
And nobody's crying
|
Nobody's crying
|
Nobody's crying
|
